Really?
I didn't watch the actually last episode until some time later because we substituted it for End of Evangelion the first time.
When I did finally watch it I just felt very let down and short changed and I could see why the creator got death threats for it.

It just wasn't very impactful for me after already seeing End of Evangelion
I wonder if we have opposite experiences because of which we watched first.

Do not feel the original episodes are by any means 'better' content
but had a really intense mushroom trip on one occasion that involved me getting sucked into formless void
then building reality back up around me in a manner that played out like in the series
that is to say, was formless in the formless, then 'realized' that reality is functional due to limitations

the portion that really resonated for me is rather short,
and think that part of the 'appeal' to it is found in the unfinished art
there were, presumably unintended, implications for me specifically with how they dealt with the topic of existence finding expression in incomplete artwork





the 'Congratulations' bit they used as a closer was straight bullshit tho

prefer End of Evangelion as a finishing portion to the series,
but there is a level of...not relatability, but something akin to it with the actual episodes

as an aside, am not really big on the postulate that episodes 25 and 26 are taking place in Shinji's mind during the middle portion of End of Evangelion

TBH I've only watched the last episode once because like I said it pissed me off seeing how they ended it here compared to end of Evangelion.
I completely forgot about that scene until you posted those gift.
Pretty much all I remembered about the last episode is the congratulations scene and how stupid I thought it was.

I'm curious exactly what you mean by an element of not relatability?

And really? The fact that the two might be taking place at the same time was actually something that gave the last episodes some credence for me.


As my own aside, have you guys seen the directors cut if Episode 22: Don't Be (The Asuka backstory one) because its fucking phenomenal compared to the normal episode.
It's a completely different episode and gives you SO MUCH more insight into Asuka as a character.

was referring to limitations of language
the proper terminology for how the episodes impact me is not quite that it is 'relatable';
but that is about the closest description available to me to express it

Shinji is such a frustrating/totally lacking growth character in the normal episode run that it is probably not feasible that a functional human could relate to the character
